Of the 3 pics of the Delhi Durbar Tiara the first two are of Queen Mary. You've omitted Queen Elizabeth who wore it in South Africa in 1947 (the last time it was seen in public prior to it being worn by the Duchess of Cornwall in late 2005). In the photo below Queen Elizabeth accompanies King George VI.

I saw, just over the weekend actually, on Getty Images, a picture of QEQM wearing the necklace--but I cannot find it! I'll keep looking.
Just for fun, the only pic I know of where the Queen Mother is wearing the Prussian turquoise parue which passed to Princess Margaret (which I also fervently hope was only a lifetime loan)

I think it's Margaret, Princess Adolphus of Teck, later Duchess of Teck and later still Marchioness of Cambridge. She was the sister-in-law of Queen Mary.

I have a couple of question regarding ysbel's post in page 2 (#39). AFAIK this photo is part of the photosession commemorating the wedding between the Duke of York and Mary of Teck, which took place in England. The necklace his grandmother Louise is wearing is the necklace which is part of the Danish Crown jewels. how did she manage to bring it with her? I thought that the Crown Jewels couldn't leave the country no matter what. Were the rules different back then? Did Louise "smuggled" them into England?  . whant happened?

Surfing the net I've found that picture of Princess Louise, Queen Alexandra and Princess Victoria. Do you now something about the diadems the two princesses are wearing in that photo?
I've another question: what about the jewels of Princess Victoria of Wales? She never married, so her jewels should be gone/returned to the royal collection. Do you know if some of her jewels have been worn after her death, by the Queen or by other princesses?

Rundell Tiara?
Could this be the Rundell tiara that Sultanah Zanariah of Johor is wearing?

No, this is not the Rundell tiara. There are quite a few differences between the Rundell and the tiara in the photo.
The Rundell was designed to be worn as one piece or several different pieces, such as brooches, earrings and necklace. At the very least, the earring pieces are in the possession of the present Queen.. I rather think she has all the pieces to the Rundell, although I cannot be certain of that.

The design is very similar but this one appears to have some coloured stones or, at least, both white & yellow gold.

Does anyone know if the Rundell Tiara is on the larger size a la Boucheron or a bit more compact like the Lovers Knot? It's tough to tell based on the hairstyle of the time.

Interestingly, The Queen has never work Queen Alexandra's serpent bracelets. I don't recall if I read it in Leslie Field's book or the other that came out fairly close in time to Fields... but anyway, the Queen says the serpents make her shudder! 
Does anyone know if Queen Mary or QEQM ever wore them? Obviously they are still with the Queen's jewels or HM could not have commented on her dislike of them. I'd love a link to a photo if anyone has one of QM or QEQM wearing them (or one of them!)
Thank you!

Oh, thanks so much for posting those pictures. I simply adored the photo of a youngish QEQM in the Teck Circlet; it looked absolutely lovely on HM. Indeed, I think this is the "tiara" that suited her best at that age and it's a shame she didn't wear it more often. It really flattered the shape of her face and was stunning against her very dark hair. It's a shame we never saw PM wearing it.
I think it would look smashing on Kate Cambridge and if she wore it in the same manner as QEQM, it would be more low-key than the usual BRF tiara and Kate seems to be making low-key her style these days, which suits both the Duchess and the current economic times.

Actually, PM did you the Teck circlet as a necklace. I do not have a link to a picture, but if you look in the PM jewels threads you may find one.
